POLICY OBJECTIVE

To establish system wide contracting and procurement policy as required by Education Code 89036.

POLICY STATEMENT

Printing, binding, stapling, and other related service needs of a campus are often available from on-campus providers such as central reprographics or self-supporting copy centers. Whenever such needs can be accommodated locally, these service providers shall be considered first.

Off-campus solicitations for printing, binding, or other related services from private printers are subject to the CSU's competitive bidding requirements.

A campus may contract with, or request work to be performed by, the Office of the State Printer (a Division of the DGS) for printing or binding services whenever it is determined that greater efficiency would be served by doing so.
